Building Resilience

How can we prepare our venues, museums, and heritage sites for the challenges posed by climate change?

As climate change intensifies, cultural buildings and collections face rising temperatures and increasingly frequent extreme weather events, including heat waves, floods, and storms. In this event, we’ll dive deep into understanding these risks and exploring proactive strategies for adaptation.

Estates, facilities, and energy managers will gain an understanding of climate risks that could affect their buildings and collections. We’ll discuss approaches that can help you plan for, and reduce, the impact of extreme weather, as well as ways to design and retrofit buildings to be more resilient to climate fluctuations whilst considering the role of cultural venues for communities affected by current and future climate impacts.

We’ll hear from guest speakers, including Watershed, Bristol and others who will share their insights and approaches.

This event is for estate, facilities, and energy managers of buildings-based cultural organisations.
